The '''Cash Shop''' sells cosmetics, pets, convenience items and rate coupons. You pay with [[Maple Points]] (earned from the daily card runs, see [[Daily Activities]]) or [[VX]]. There is one door: the Anonymous Merchant in the Free Market. Nothing in the shop can be bought with real money in MapleVerse, and what you buy has no value outside the game.

== Getting in ==
# Travel to the [[Map:Free Market Entrance|Free Market Entrance]]. The large towns have a Free Market portal near their market area (in Henesys it is the portal inside [[Map:Henesys Market|Henesys Market]]).
# Walk to the far right (east) end of the map. The [[NPC:Anonymous Merchant|Anonymous Merchant]] stands in the corner. Beside him is the [[NPC:Trade Broker|Trade Broker]], who opens the [[Item Trading Center]].
# Talk to the merchant. The first time on each character he reads out the terms of sale, which you must accept: everything sold is an in-game item only, bought items expire 30 days after purchase unless the item says otherwise, and items cannot be exchanged back for money.
# The shop window opens.

A shop session ends after 30 minutes without any action in the shop. Talk to the merchant again to carry on.

{{Note|The merchant changes his appearance every time you enter the Free Market. About one visit in ten he wears a look that refuses to open the shop and tells you to come back later. Nothing is wrong: leave the Free Market and come back in. Only your own screen shows the look you rolled.}}

The old shortcuts do not work. The <code>/cashshop</code> command and the Gachapon NPC only point you back to the merchant: ''Looking for the Cash Shop? Someone in the far corner of the Free Market might help.''

== The window ==
The top bar shows the two balances. '''Maple Points''' show a dash until the game has told you your balance, and the shop will not spend them blind. The Charge and Check buttons are grey placeholders; the Coupon button works. The tabs follow the original shop:

{| class="wikitable"

The SET-UP and PACKAGE tabs exist but hold nothing for sale.

== What things cost ==
Every price is the original game's price divided by ten and rounded, never below 1. The reset scrolls and books are priced separately (see [[AP and SP Resets]]). These are the prices you pay in either wallet:

{| class="wikitable"
! scope="col" | Item
! scope="col" | Price
! scope="col" | Notes
|-
| Inventory expansion, +4 slots on one tab
| 400
| Buttons in the shop's own inventory view. Each tab grows up to 999 slots.
|-
| Add Equip Slots coupon (+8)
| 640
| The Use and ETC versions cost 680. Buying one here grows the tab at once.
|-
| [[Item:Gachapon Ticket|Gachapon Ticket]]
| 100
| 11 for 1,000, 35 for 3,000.
|-
| [[Item:Safety Charm|Safety Charm]]

== Buying ==
# Click an item. The plate shows its price, how long it lasts and how many you get.
# Choose '''Buy''' and confirm. The confirm names the wallet that will be used: ''Purchase Veso Magnet for 240 Maple Points?'' or the same with VX.
# The goods go to your [[Cash Inventory]]. The game says, for example, ''Purchased Veso Magnet for 240 Maple Points. It is in your Cash Inventory.''
# Move them to your bag by clicking them in the Cash Inventory and confirming.

The wallet rule is fixed: if your Maple Points cover the price on their own, they pay; otherwise your VX pays if it covers the price on its own; a purchase is never split between the two. If neither wallet alone reaches the price you get ''You don't have enough cash.'' and nothing is charged.
== Gifts, wish list and coupons ==
* '''Gifts.''' Choose Gift on an item, type the receiving character's name and a short message, and confirm. You pay with your own wallet. The receiver must be on a different account (''You cannot send a gift to your own account''). The gift waits for them and they take it in their own Cash Shop; its 30 days start when they receive it. Slot-expansion coupons cannot be gifted.
* '''Wish list.''' Mark up to ten items; they are kept per character in the WISH LIST tab.
* '''Coupon codes.''' Press the Coupon button and type the code. It may be typed with or without dashes and spaces, in capitals or small letters (letters and digits, up to 30). A code can be good for items, Vesos, Maple Points or VX, and some are for one use per account or have an end date. After three wrong tries within a minute the shop makes you wait. A coupon with items needs room in your bag for all of them. The code's value is paid straight to you.

== How long goods last ==
{{Changed|In the original game cash goods lasted for the period printed on the item. In MapleVerse everything bought from the Cash Shop lasts '''30 days''' from the moment of purchase, whether you take it out of the Cash Inventory immediately or not. Nothing else in the game expires.}}

Exceptions:
* These are permanent: Gachapon Tickets, the Hyper Teleport Rock, the bag and storage slot expansions (Add Storage Slots, Add Equip/Use/ETC Slots), the Monster Box Expansions, The Rock of Evolution, the Golden Bell, the Red Ribbon, Torr's Horn and the Ticket to Treasure Dungeon.
* Safety Charms, megaphones and other items you buy in packs still last 30 days.
* 2x EXP and 2x drop coupons keep their own length (1 day, 10 days or similar, never more than 30).

== What can go wrong ==
{| class="wikitable"
! scope="col" | What you see
! scope="col" | Why
|-
| The merchant says ''Sorry bub, I don't like the way you lookin' at me. Come back later''
| He rolled a refusing look. Leave the Free Market and come back in.
|-
| ''The Cash Shop is coming soon!''
| The shop is closed. If you see this, the team has switched the shop off for now.
|-
| ''You don't have enough cash.''
| Neither wallet alone covers the price.
|-
| ''Please check if your inventory is full or not.''
| Your Cash Inventory already holds 100 purchases (or, for a take-out, your bag is full). Empty some Cash Inventory space or free a bag slot.
|-
| ''Due to an unknown error, the request for Cash Shop has failed.''
| Another character on the account took the item first, or the connection dropped. Reopen the shop.
|-
| Maple Points show a dash
| The game has not told your client the balance yet (for instance while offline). Reopen the shop.
